Fig. 3. Elevated dietary salt intake increases the expression of NKCC1 in branchial
mitochondria-rich cells. Localisation of Na+/K+-ATPase
(NKA; red), NKCC1 (green) and nuclei (blue) in gill sections from (A) control
or (B,C) salt-fed fish. Areas of co-localisation of NKA with NKCC1 appear as
yellow/orange. D is a representative image depicting a gill section from which
both primary antibodies were omitted. Arrows in A indicate cells exhibiting
NKA immunofluorescence, and in B co-localisation of NKA and NKCC1. Scale bars,
10 µm.
